THE BEATLES
/ COMPLETE JAPANESE SINGLE COLLECTION 2
- DIRECT TRANSFER FROM THE ORIGINAL RECORDS
[2CD] DIGITAL ARCHIVES PROMOTION / DAPB099CD1/2

★A comprehensive, chronological collection of singles released in Japan between 1964 and 1982. Features 56 early-period tracks and 40 late-period tracks—including unique Japanese coupling choices—sourced from original recordings.
★Perfectly reproduces the unique analog sound derived from direct transfers of the original master discs.
★Includes all the nostalgic jacket photos that gave Japanese releases their unique charm, including alternate designs.

As the Beatles' popularity skyrocketed globally in the 1960s, Japan saw a steady stream of albums and singles released through unique local initiatives. At the time, the music market was driven by hit singles; although "Please Please Me" was originally slated as the Japanese debut in February 1964, "I Want to Hold Your Hand" was rush-released ahead of it, kicking off a schedule of almost monthly single releases. Japanese singles—which often featured unique track selections and jacket designs—have garnered significant attention from Beatles collectors worldwide. While the Beatles' entire catalog has since been digitally remastered to a global standard, cutting and mastering processes varied across the UK, US, and other nations during the 1960s; today, the resulting differences in analog sound are a subject of great interest. This single collection focuses on the original recordings of the era, utilizing direct transfers from the master discs to perfectly recreate that authentic analog sound. Until the late 1960s, all singles featured a direct, powerful monaural sound—a vintage, lo-fi sonic texture that stands in stark contrast to the digital era. This collection marks the first-ever comprehensive compilation of these single tracks from the analog era (spanning 1964 to 1982, prior to the advent of the CD). It also features the charming, nostalgic cover art unique to the Japanese releases, presented in chronological order—including the alternate cover designs used for later reissues—making it a release not to be missed. This is the ultimate collector's item, a commemorative set that brings back the Beatles exactly as you heard them on records and the radio during the 1960s!
